Performers Needed for "The Taming of the Shrew" Play
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Seeking performers for production of "The Taming of the Shrew". More details are below. About the play: This production will be cast completely gender-flipped, placing the story in a High Fae Court inspired by fantasy romance worlds like ACOTAR and The Folk of the Air. Here, a moody faerie prince (our gender-flipped Kate) meets his match in a bold human knight (our female Petruchia). Class, privilege, and power collide in a Romantasy setting full of longing looks, clashing wills, and enemies-to-lovers tension, reimagining Shakespeare’s most controversial couple with sharp wit and plenty of spark. Rate: Theatre operates on a profit-share model, so an honorarium may be available, but please keep in mind this relies on a lot of factors. Additional information: Performance Dates: February 26 - March 5, 2026. Rehearsal Schedule: Monday-Thursday evenings. Rehearsals to start the week of January 18, 2026. Please note that directors will also be casting several smaller parts not listed and there is a possibility that one actor may be playing several roles. If cast in a smaller role, you may be asked to understudy a larger role. If interested, please apply.
